Bolt-on neck ang SG, and i'm pretty sure nga dili mahogany ang body kay light kaayo.

Ang kadtong one-pickup strat naay hole beside the pick-up. I'm not sure para unsa toh. The pickup was either a single coil or a mini humbucker. perhaps the previous owner wanted to put a vintage humbucker on it pero wala gi dayun.

Didto ko ron sa Metro Gaisano Ayala and naa silay SG copies baligya, tag 4800phph ra MIC. The build quality is bad, wala nila nakuha ang shape sa SG. lingaw kaayo ko ganina sa Metro kay ang mga salesboy nag-concert, naay nag guitar, nag kahon, og nag tom-toms. for about 30mins, gipa tukar sila sa ilang manager didto sa music section.

I know of two brands nga available - Duncan Seymour and Alinico. both starts at 4T sa Salonga. Both pickups is more of a Stratocaster sound than a Telecaster's "twang" or a Les Paul's "grunt". I think naa pud sa JB. Naay daghan nga coil and humbuckers sa Audiophile stores sa Manila. If maka suroy ka didto, adtoa unya. Basta if you plan to have a "project guitar", get the best pickup that you can afford.

If sweto mo sa Manila, ang Sta.Mesa is their version of our Opon guitar-making industry. Naay 2 blocks didto nga makakita ka og copies of Les Pauls and Fenders. pero all of the hardwares and electronics are mostly MIC.

BTW, nakapalit ko og 8 back issues sa Vintage Guitar Magazine nga puros 2008 sa BookSale sa Gaisano Tabunok...tag 22 pesos only each. 700pesos ni brand new...adto unya mo, kay naay mga tips on how to repair and restore guitars.

It depends on the budget range. As for my friend bryan arzaga who is in tha states now. He uses Wilkinson, Guitarheads , and chinese custom pups. the price range is very cheap. $20-$80 which is good for a cool pups. the tone and flexibility of these said pups matches or even more over power the known pups brands. check it out. this is order basis though since the manufacturer is not located here in the phils.

daghan man maayo mo himo diha sa Opon, pero a good guitar is a combination of good craftsmanship and good materials. Ma usik ra ang nindot nga kahoy kung dili kamao ang mo himo. Same ra kung nindot og craftsmanship apan dili maayo ang materials...for Opon made guitars, I highly recommend Alegre Guitars....Spanish-trained luthier ang tag-iya....

Alegre has two display centers. One is along the highway sa Lapu-lapu. Turn left after crossing the first Mactan bridge. It's on the right side mga 100 meters from the corner. The Alegre Guitars signboard is very clear.

Pero mas nindot kung moadto ka sa ilang factory which is also a display center. Diretso ka after the first Mactan bridge, straight to Basak, Lapu-lapu. Then after Indiana Flying School and before Mactan Doctors, naay iskina sa left. Liko ka diha then subaya lang ang road past Camelia Homes, ayaw og liko-liko. Mga 2 kilometers after, naa sa right side nimo ang sign nga Alegre Guitars. Makakita ka sa manufacturing process, including unsaon nila pag prep-up sa wood and unsaon pag finish including installation of inlays, hardwares andothers.

Medyo mahal dyud ang Alegre. Prices starts at around 5T. With pre-amps, around 6T. Pero dili ka magmahay. Maayo dyud pagka-himo.

Another guitar maker I highly recommend is Junx Muana of Harana Guitars. I already got 4 acoustics from him. Pangitaa lang siya sa The Outpost at Friday nights. Ang Harana prices is taas gamay sa Alegre, pero customized ang Harana and build on order so medyo ma dugay gamay. With Harana, you can choose the wood and type of finish you want. Ang Alegre is daghan human daan.
